DCTC pulls radio ad

The Dow Corning Tennis Classic has discontinued a radio advertisement for the upcoming annual women's professional tournament after some listeners objected to the words "eye candy" in the advertisement.

DCTC Director Erin Mazurek said that the words "eye candy" in the ad were referring to the overall atmosphere of the tournament, and not to the players themselves, as some listeners thought.

"We weren't trying to say the players are 'eye candy,'" said Mazurek, who said the DCTC pulled the ad in response to some complaints. "That wasn't what we were implying. The banners, the balloons, the displays - that is the eye candy.
